Deletion of the mouse X‐linked Prame gene causes germ cell reduction in spermatogenesis

Deletion of the mouse X‐linked Prame gene causes germ cell reduction in spermatogenesis

Preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) is cancer/testis antigen and a transcriptional repressor, inhibiting the signaling of retinoic acid through the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) for promoting cell proliferation and preventing cell apoptosis in cancer cells. The role of PRAME in testi...

Zusammenfassung:Preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) is cancer/testis antigen and a transcriptional repressor, inhibiting the signaling of retinoic acid through the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) for promoting cell proliferation and preventing cell apoptosis in cancer cells. The role of PRAME in testis and germline is unknown. We report here the generation and characterization of an X‐linked Prame conditional knockout (cKO) mouse. Although fertile, the testis size (p
